This First Edition of the Deluxe Version first published in 1999 has been read but is in overall good condition.  Purchased by me from a renowned U.K book dealer this copy has been wrapped in brown paper away from the light to preserve its condition.  A rare opportunity to procure this wonderful book which  will  in years to come clearly continue to increase in value. Only 4000 of this edition were ever printed by Bloomsbury and as such make this a highly collectable and sought after version , being the first of the world famous Harry Potter series. Extraordinarily nearly 500 million copies of the Harry Potter series have been sold worldwide making it an international phenomenon,  whilst the series of Hollywood movies smashed box office records all  over the world.
